Through creative workshops, cultural activities, and teamwork, this project aims to empower youth to discover traditional crafts, rethink fashion trends, and create innovative solutions for a greener future. Beyond learning about sustainability, participants will build friendships across borders, strengthen their European identity, and develop essential life skills to become responsible, proactive, and culturally aware citizens.

The Location

• Typical food and drinks from your countries. During the youth exchange we will have cultural evenings. You can bring national costumes, decorations, leaflets, food, sweets, drinks and much more. There might be the possibility to cook something using the kitchen of the establishment. 

Unfortunately, we don’t have budget to reimburse these expenses, but try to be creative and funny. 

You can show videos, photos, sing songs and dance traditional dances from your countries. We are counting on you to make these evenings as interesting as possible and promise to help you in any way we can.

• Each national team should have at least 1 laptop and 1 good photo camera / phone.

• In October it can be cold in the mountains. Prepare for temperatures between 15 Celsius (or higher) during the day and 8 Celsius (or lower) during nights. It is recommended to bring warm clothes in case it rains or you wish to stay outside during evenings, when it gets a little bit chilly.

• Bed linen and toiletries are provided by the guesthouse, however we encourage you to bring your own towels, flip flops and other items you might need, so that you feel comfortable.

• We will provide water daily. Please bring your own water recipients to avoid use of plastic glasses.

• We will have available the emergency medical kit. However we encourage you to bring the remedies you are used to for most common situations such as fever, headaches, stomach aches and more specific needs, if it is the case.

• It is mandatory to have a valid health insurance, although we can’t reimburse the costs. As Romania is an EU member, an insurance should be cheap and easy to make. If you have an European Health Card, please bring it with you, it is valid in our medical system.
